Description: Boba Fett, ESBPrefix: BHDetachment:Bounty Hunters Guild Context: Star Wars Episode VBoba Fett, the unaltered clone of Jango Fett was one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. He is most famous for delivering Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt.

Boba Fett's costume is one of the most complicated in the 501st. Please note that there are multiple variations of the suit, and costumers are required to be consistent to a particular reference with their suits.

The 501st approval requirements are listed in black.

The Bounty Hunters' Guild defines two additional, optional levels of costuming excellence. In the page below, requirements for Level 1 "Notorious" are listed in blue. Level 2 "Infamous" requirements are in red. Please visit the BHG web site for a full description of these standards.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

This CRL is a work in progress.

This costume may be approved by GMLs, but until the library entry is complete, it is suggested that this character first be submitted to the appropriate DL/GML peer review section of the legion forum.

If you have this costume and would like to assist with the completion of this library entry, please contact your detachment leader.

Please note that the use of the word "should" below does not indicate that the armor piece is considered open to interpretation. All instances of "should be" and "should have" will be replaced with "is" and "has", as this guide is completed.
